This paper aims to solve the location and routing problem (LRP) in the agricultural sector with the objective function of fuel cost minimization. Many farmers may have problems when transporting and selling products because of high costs and unfair prices. The proper location of standardized...

This article aims to resolve a particular production planning and workforce assignment problem. Many production lines may have different production capacities while producing the same product. Each production line is composed of three production stages, and each stage requires different periods...

This paper presents an algorithm to solve the multilevel location-allocation problem when sabotage risk is considered (MLLAP-SB). Sabotage risk is the risk that a deliberate act of sabotage will happen in a living area or during the transportation of a vehicle. This can change the way decisions...

This research proposed an optimization method using a solution technique based on two well-known techniques, differential evolution and particle swarm optimization, to tackle a multi-visit and multi-period workforce scheduling and routing problem in field service operation of a sugarcane mill...
